The number one thing I hear from all my clients is "why has no one told me this?" Unfortunately, it makes sense if you think about how the RV industry makes money.

At the dealerships, the salesmen are not technicians. They're there to sell you a camper and don't have any real interest in what happens once you leave the lot. The technician who performs your "walkthrough" is usually the newest, least experienced, least knowledgeable guy - because the more experienced techs are too busy performing complicated repairs. 

At the service center, good luck trying to talk to a technician! Usually, you only interact with someone at the front desk who doesn't know anything technical. Also, the service center makes money when you break your camper, so they don't have a real interest in pulling technicians off of projects to educate you on how to avoid bringing your RV back! 

And then of course you've got the internet. When I went looking for resources to give my clients about preventive maintenance, I was not just a little surprised, but shocked at how unhelpful the information I could find was.

All the courses that I found were super technical, and the free information was vague, incomplete and sometimes even inaccurate. 

Yes and no. You can learn almost anything online if you know what you're looking for. After watching client after client break their RV from a lack of knowledge, I personally went looking for some resource to send them. And I, knowing what to look for, couldn't find anything helpful. 

The paid courses I found were expensive, overly technical, information overload, designed for training technicians or hardcore DIYers. The free resources were vague and sometimes even inaccurate. 

People will often buy a new car in order to avoid the extra maintenance that comes with an older vehicle. But RVs are not like cars. Several of the example stories that I share in my course are from new campers that have been broken through a lack of knowing how to properly use them.

Most of these tips will only take five minutes or less to do. The videos in the course are 2-3 minutes each, you could complete the whole thing in less time than a standard movie.

Plus 40% of the tips are just knowledge-based use tips, meaning you watch the video and learn how to not break your RV. It doesn't actually take any extra time. You literally do it while you're camping.

And let's be real folks, you are going to spend WAY more time arguing with the receptionist at the service center about why your RV is still waiting to be repaired after 6 months. Personally, I rather spend 1 hour doing preventive maintenance and avoid all that time wasting.

Even if you're lucky enough to have an experienced technician doing maintenance for you, you're still going to want to take this course. 40% of these tips are usage based. Your technician is not going to go camping with you and tell you how to use your refrigerator, but he will happily install a new $5,000 refrigerator that you broke after your camping trip.

I get it, you bought an RV to go camping - not to become a mechanic. I've created Tool-Free RV Maintenance specifically for you.

This course covers what I consider to be the low hanging fruit of RV maintenance. It's the simplest, easiest things that you can do to avoid breaking your RV. This should be accessible to anyone regardless of their skill level with tools - you know- because it's tool-free*!

*Except the two bonus tips. They require a screwdriver and wrench. But they're still very easy and they're bonuses so they don't count ;) 

I derived this course from my preventive maintenance checklist that I've given hundreds of my clients over the years. Almost every veteran camper has learned something from that checklist that they weren't doing or learned that repairs that they have had done in the past were actually avoidable.

The biggest time I see veteran campers get into trouble is when they upgrade RVs and now have new systems they're not familiar with how to maintain.

Personally, I view this course as essential education for every RV owner.

If you don't like overpaying for unnecessary repairs, while your RV is stuck in the shop and the receptionist gives you the runaround about whether or not the parts have come in while you miss potential camping trips, this is for you.

It's especially for you if you:

• Have a new RV
• Have a "new-to-you" RV
• Camp frequently
• Full-time in your RV- Every single full-timer needs to take this course. You can't afford to have your RV in the shop for months when it's your full-time home! 
• Don't like wasting time, money and headache on unnecessary repairs
